There I stood

Author's Note: “This song was most listened to on my ipod for over a month, the lyrics coordinate to my life how pieces create a puzzle.  When I first heard this song I would listen to it over and over until the lyrics played silently in my head. It just makes me smile knowing that I’m not the only one in this world that sometimes feels invisible. I wrote a poem about this song, but keep in mind I do not write poetry a lot so I’m just trying to take a stab at it. This song is "Invisble" by Taylor Swift.”

She can’t see the way your eyes

Light up when you smile

She’ll never notice how you stop and stare whenever she walks by

And you can’t see me wantin' you the way you want her

But you are everything to me

I just wanna show you

She don’t even know you

She's never gonna love you like I want to

And you just see right through me

If you only knew me

We could be a beautiful

Miracle,

Unbelievable

Instead of just invisible.

There’s a fire inside of you

That can’t help but shine through

She’s never gonna see the light no matter what you do

And all I think about is how to make you think of me

And everything that we could be

Like shadows in a faded light

Oh, we’re invisible

I just wanna open your eyes

And make you realize

I just wanna show you

She don’t even know you

Baby, let me love you

Let me want you

You just see right through me

But if you only knew me

We could be a beautiful

Miracle,

Unbelievable

Instead of just invisible

She can’t see the way your eyes light up when you smile

There I stood: there I stood waiting for you to turn around and come running back into my arms, there I stood wanting you to love me for me, there I stood with tearing welling up in my eyes while remembering all the times where you told me you loved me, there I stood wanting you to want me.

Here I stood: here I stood wanting to leave my world because you weren’t apart of it anymore, here I stood knowing you weren’t going to come back to me, here I stood questioning if you ever loved me at all.

Here I was wishing: wishing the sting of rejection would fade away, wishing I’d never met you, wishing you wouldn’t have broken my heart into a million irreparable pieces, wishing that I could just move on and love another, wishing you had known how much I loved you.

Here I was realizing: realizing you weren’t the one for me, realizing that you had moved on, realizing I meant nothing to you, realizing I was just a piece in your little lying games, realizing I was done with you, realizing I should stop trying to convince I’m your soul mate not her, realizing I was done with you.

I Smile Because of You

Author's Note: " My friends are the best, we laugh, we joke, we talk, we always have fun. I can't imagine a world without them, that's why I wrote this."

I feel like with this one simple quote, someone could write a novel. It is so empowering the way the words almost speak to me. I’ve read this quote probably a million times and I not only believe everything it stands for, but I also believe in what it symbolizes. To me it means that sometimes hearing your friend’s voice, or seeing a picture of her can comfort you instantly. It amazes me that that people take friends for grant it, honestly my friends are what make me happy, they fill my life with joy. I don’t know what I would without my friends, when going through something like middle school I’ve found that sharing your experiences with others and learning about their experiences really helps you understand who they are as a person.
Not only are friends there for you when you need a shoulder to cry on, but they’re always there for you at the end of the day. A true friend would never abandon you in a time of need, they will be there for you, especially when you most need them. I feel that when something good happens to you or your friend, you share the happiness and support each other no matter what life has in store for you. I’m not going to tell you growing up is easy, but when you have great friends to help you through the hard times and celebrate the good times, nothing can bring you down.
 

The Life of a Tissue

Author's Note: "All of us know how it feels to be alone feeling like we are in a distant planet in comparison to the rest of the world, but its okay to feel that way because things will get better.

I've heard it a million times, my life doesn't matter, but I will defend myself time after time by telling them I do matter. What will you do when you have a a cold or a stuffy nose and there is no box of tissues to blow your nose in? How will you feel then? Could you ever imagine crying, but not having a box of tissues to wipe you nose with: I think not. So next time think twice before you mock the life of a tissue because we are extremely important.
We live a hard life: honestly do you think sitting inside a box is really how you want to spend your life. I've lost my mother and father because they were used and thrown away. I've realized over my weeks of existence that once you are used your life is over, you are left to rot in a landfill until the end of time: but that's my dream, to be of some use to someone in this huge world. I will make myself worth something, I will get out of this box someday and be used and it will be the best five seconds of my life.
